I moved from Rochester to Charlotte, NC and still can't find a formal/wedding dress shop to compare. I went back to look at what they had for my sons wedding after an exhaustive search here. I told them what I want and they took my style and made several suggestions. My dress was perfect and I got so many complements. Great color, style and fit for the mother of the bride. If I could post a picture here I would. more

I'm surprised by the one star comment. I had the best experience after finding the dresses at David's "all the same" and not looking good in anything at Alfred Angelo (they were overpriced too). One Enchanted Evening had more than 10 dresses that looked awesome on me and in my price range. In the end of everything, my dress was gorgeous and had gorgeous beading all over in and had never been worn for $499. (They have the BEST bridal clearance rack). The staff was fabulous. I bought my bridesmaids dresses offline and when one of my bridesmaids got pregnant and wouldn't fit in hers, the staff bent over backwards to find a matching bridesmaid dress! more

We started the search for my bridesmaids' dresses at One Enchanted Evening because I thought it would be nice to support a local business, but it almost ruined our day. We made an appointment, but when we arrived they were too busy to help us. We stood around for about 20 minutes waiting for them to bring out the one dress we asked to see. When someone finally brought it out, it looked cheap and the fabric was really thin, nothing like the picture I saw on-line. I asked the woman how much the dress was and she told me it was $150.00. I was surprised based on the quality of the dress. The woman became very snippy with me and said "well you're NOT going to find a bridesmaid dress ANYWHERE less than $150. This irked me but my sister tried on the dress anyway. While she was in the fitting room, my cousin asked me to try on a veil to see what it will look like. I was putting it on as the snippy woman walked quickly by with some girls in prom dresses and shot me a nasty look. I said I was just trying it on and she said very loudly PLEASE DONT as she blew by me. How dare she!?! I'm a bride! Maybe I need a veil!!! We were all so offended by her rudeness I told her we would be spending our money elsewhere and left. I will NEVER set foot in that store again. We found beautiful gowns at Alfred Angelo in Greece, NY. I highly recommend Alfred Angelo, do not go to One Enchanted Evening if you want an enjoyable day of dress shopping. more

This is the place to go for bridal, formal or prom wear. They are a consignment shop just for this type of clothing and have a wide variety. In fact, you can find matching bridal attendant dresses. I've found several dresses there for various black tie functions I've attended, and because of the price, haven't minded that I just wore them once. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the owner of the shop--I found her somewhat inattentive. more
